Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for preparing 2-alkoxy-4-aminopyrimidine compounds.
  • the synthesis of 4-amino-2-alkoxypyrimidines has hitherto been expensive.
  • the unsubstituted 4-amino-2-alkoxypyrimidine is formed of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine by transposition with ammonia and further reaction of the 4-amino-2-chloropyrimidine with alkali methylate, whereupon an isomer mixture is formed which can be separated only at great expense (J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 52 (1930) 1152; C.A. 52, 6360 b), and by the hydrogenation of the difficultly obtainable 4-amino-6-chloro-2-alkoxypyrimidine (Monatsheft Chem.
  • the object of the present invention was to synthesize 2-alkoxypyrimidines in a high yield by a simple reaction from easily available and inexpensive starting products. Expensive and complex processes, such as isomer separation, were to be avoided.
  • R' has the same meaning as in formula 1.
  • the process delivers the products in high purity and yield.
  • the 4-amino-2-carboxymethylthiopyrimidines of formula 2 are easily obtained by the reaction of 4-amino-2-mercaptopyrimidines with chloroacetic acid or chloroacetic acid esters (J. Biol. Chem. 177 (1949) 357).
  • a 4-amino-2-carboxymethylthiopyrimidine (formula 2), in which the group --COOH is used very preferentially, and also preferentially --COOCH 3 and COOC 2 H 5 , as the carboxy group, is reacted with an alcohol in the presence of a base.
  • the alcohol is generally used in an excess with respect to the 4-amino-2-carboxymethylthiopyrimidine and serves as a solvent or dispersant; the minimum amount of alcohol is generally determined by the stirrability of the reaction solution, but the amount can be reduced, if desired, to about 2 moles per mole of 4-amino-2-carboxymethylthio compound of formula 2.
  • the concentration of the reaction solution should be as great as possible.
  • Preferred alcohols are methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol.
  • the alcoholate corresponding to the alcohol is preferred as the base, advantageously sodium alcoholate or potassium alcoholate, but other alcoholates can be used, such as alkaline earth alcoholates for example.
  • Other suitable bases are especially the alkali hydroxides or, in some cases, alkaline earth hydroxides, alkaline earth oxides, or salts of weak acids, such as carbonates for example.
  • the amount of alcohol will be from 2 to 20, preferably 2 to 10 moles per mole of 4-amino-2-carboxymethylthiopyrimidine and 1 to 20, preferably 2 to 10, moles per mole of 4-amino-2-alkoxycarbonylmethylthiopyrimidine.
  • the reaction requires elevated temperatures.
  • the preferred temperature is the boiling point of the solvent, although even higher temperatures of up to about 150° C. are possible under a slight excess pressure.
  • the reaction time amounts generally to 1 to 10 hours.
  • the poorly water-soluble 4-amino-2-methoxypyrimidine can be precipitated by the addition of water after the reaction has ended and the methanol has been distilled out, and can be separated from the water-soluble components.
  • 4-Amino-2-alkoxypyrimidines are starting products, for example for pharmaceutically active sulfonamides and for cytosine and cytosine derivatives.
